Component or modularly based software systems, such as many Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and other enterprise-class software systems, often may be deployed with many different combinations of components or modules. As such, software systems are assembled from constituent components, either initially or through modification and enhancement over time, conflicting and redundant constituent components may can be included. Further, due to large numbers of components that can be of large data sizes when considering component binaries, configuration data files, and other data files, deployment can become time consuming and complex. However, in modern computing environments, enterprise-class software systems are often deployed in a flexible manner that allows enterprise-class software systems to be identically instantiated multiple times while executing against data stored in a single database to provide scalability and failover redundancy, among other reasons such as instantiation of testing and development system instances. Due to large data amounts, possibilities for component redundancies and conflicts, and many other constraints, managing, maintaining, and rapidly replicating system instances can be quite difficult and time consuming.
